I&#39;d love to hang my bike on the wall but it&#39;s heavier than dark matter and my flatmate would go mental if she found oil and mud on the walls. In fact she&#39;d prefer the bike to be kept outside, but I don&#39;t want it to get stolen or rusty, so at the moment we compromise and I keep it in my room.<br /><br />Anyone else got any good storage solutions?Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215972353112777858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-6636900181686700932009-07-21T17:18:10.503+01:002009-07-21T17:18:10.503+01:00if only we all had such a lovely space with huge b...if only we all had such a lovely space with huge bookshelves like that first photo!<br /><br />quite proud of my bobbin and would love to display, but it&#39;s way to heavy for the wall. any suggestions?abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718008441083711607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-49875179141098472332009-07-21T15:52:13.668+01:002009-07-21T15:52:13.668+01:00A couple of thoughts:

This is good because it doesn&#39;t require permanent attachment to the wall studs; essential if you&#39;re renting, but useful any time. <br /><br />I find that office rack to be a bit exposed. My husband&#39;s bike rack at work is dangerous - even with a surveillance camera the thieves cut a hole in the chain-link cage and pulled the bike rack through it, selecting the bikes they wanted and staying safely off-camera. My office bike cage has a wall which I&#39;m convinced keeps the thieves guessing as to whether it&#39;s worth their effort. See a photo at the bottom of <a href="http://chiccyclist.blogspot.com/2009/01/bike-parking.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036691849337099909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-86570462076690450262009-07-21T13:22:07.340+01:002009-07-21T13:22:07.340+01:00Hanging bikes doesn&#39;t work so well when the bi...Hanging bikes doesn&#39;t work so well when the bike comes in from the wet -and don&#39;t even think about it on a mountain bike that is taken on local offroads, at least not in the living room.SteveLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654931341335136008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-72449477722174299332009-07-21T12:02:57.354+01:002009-07-21T12:02:57.354+01:00Fab!
